Fluffles Posted December 29, 2018 Author Share Posted December 29, 2018 (edited) Hey everyone! Sorry for the delay. Here are the written answers for your questions! DEVELOPER Do you have any plan to overcome the player's problem about application not install in android version although we have delete the game and have many space left in our phone? Maybe you can develop a special app for us so that we dont need to uninstall the game,just update it normally. [kakazuto01 - Silver] As much as we'd love to make it easier for you guys to be able to install the game, we have limited time and it isn't possible for us to simply put the game up in the Google PlayStore. However, good fixes for this is using a CC Cleaner to clear all PRO Files, resetting App Permisions, and downloading the apk from another browser/your PC. [*]Whats the future plan regarding to this game i mean do u still giving updates alltho after mega in Pro nothing much left [LOKESH17 - Silver] We are not simply limited to Megas. We have a lot of other plans for PRO and we look to continue to provide updates for new and old players to enjoy! [*]While battling with wild Pokemon can we know their stats before catching them? There is a box appears when we put our cursor on their names, what is that for? It's an empty box. [RishabJaiswal - Gold] We do not intend to provide a feature that lets you know the stats of a pokemon before catching. This defeats the purpose of hunting for the best possible pokemon for your team. Do note that PRO is an MMO and hunting is one of the most important aspects of our game. We'd like to keep this process unaltered stay inline with our game being an MMO. [*]will there be a reborn bot added to the game. [kellidan - Gold] "Yeah, absolutely no spam and chat has enough space for ^s Magikarp." As much as we would love to add in the Reborn Bot to the game, it would be a rather tedious process, so it isn't necessarily planned. We have added in a lot of useful features in-game such as the spawn locations in the pokedex and various cooldown checkers to compensate for this. We also have guides on our forums to help you with your in-game needs as an alternative! [*]I want to say that you have to reduce the size of apk file or you have to reduce the time of update. [Keshav - Gold] Unfortunately as we continue to optimize the game and add new features, the file size may not remain constant. The time of the download depends on your personal internet speed and therefore is not something in our control. We're always trying to improve our service, but it isn't perfect, sorry! [*]Can you guys make an in-game auction house. [Lordoflard - Gold] We plan to release an auction house with our upcoming website, but we're still ironing out specific details about the auction house and also the implementation itself. We also have a Website Rework Thread that you can check out on the forums regarding the plans for the new website. [*]Can we expect an update for the Pokemon Box, in the sense of making it more manageable by adding different sections inside the box. [sakhi - Gold] A PC update is planned, however it is currently not prioritized. We plan on having an item tab in boxes as well. We're always looking into updating PRO's features and improving the quality of life in PRO. However, these things are easier said than done and we need to consider a lot of things before actually implementing a new feature. These things also have to go through a lot of tests, and we also have to determine what is most efficient and needed by the player base. [*]When a new storage system will FINNALLY be developt? [Rharomy - Gold] We're always looking into updating PRO's features and improving the quality of life in PRO. However, these things are easier said than done and we need to consider a lot of things before actually implementing a new feature. These things also have to go through a lot of tests, and we also have to determine what is most efficient and needed by the player base. [*]How you learned to program the system of pro and how you make those ideas in something real/virtual? [Agresivity - Silver] The internet. The ideas are mainly not from me. Most stuff is from handhelds or suggestions. [*]are you guys plaining on or trying to figure out how to add flying into the game [Xenwing - Both Servers] Adding Fly as move using outside of battle might be nothing to hard. However, the main reason why fly will not be usable outside of battle is because we have a subway and teleport system which also functions as money sink to help balance the economy on PRO. [*]Are you planning to implement PC Re-order? [Whatdesu - Silver] A PC update is planned, however it is currently not prioritized. We plan on having an item tab in boxes as well. We're always looking into updating PRO's features and improving the quality of life in PRO. However, these things are easier said than done and we need to consider a lot of things before actually implementing a new feature. These things also have to go through a lot of tests, and we also have to determine what is most efficient and needed by the player base. [*]Can we expect any improvements of the chat system? [C0libry - Silver] We've recently released new features of the Chat System like the time restriction in trade chat. We're looking to improve PRO's features, however do note that we are simply volunteers and time can be rather limited, so we can't promise anything. [*]Any chance you will release an API (not just the Python API for cs) for granting access to static data like spawns, spawn tiers, etc. or dynamic data like transactional trade objects to play around and/or create some statistics for the communities? [C0libry - Silver] No. Those information will never accessible for players. Also, only a very few trusted staff members have access to this information. If you are interested in specific statistics, you can request them. However, there is no guarantee that your wish will be fulfilled as we have much more important priorities. [*]I noticed that many of the new xmas pokemon in this event do not have their snow animation/shiny sound when spawning, including manaphy :( I was just wondering if this is something that will be updated, or are the snow animation/sound going to stay exclusive to just some Xmas pokes. [Outlaw609 - Silver] It is definitely doable, the best you can do is to report which particular Pokémon have missing sound files/missing animations. However, we can't tell you when they would be fixed as it is more a minor issue. CONTENT how would Mega Stones be distributed? And would it be something released with the system, or would it take much more time to fully implement? [smooge - Silver] Most likely Quests and bosses, we also most likely would release few at a time, to see how it would affect the game. [*]i wanna know if you guys wil be working on adding alola as you guys are on battle ui progect for megas and zmoves and about the bag as well, those eggs there will it be coded like the old way of daycare [jhaydenite - Silver] We actually don't need the Alola region to release Alolan pokemon, or to release Megas and Z-moves. We do not want to give too much away, but we do have something big planned. However we will not share completely because it'd take away from the surprise, if it is indeed coming or not. As for unique pokemon, we are always open to new forms. With regards to eggs, we do not have plans to introduce them as they are obtained in official games (Breeding) as this would defeat the purpose of our game being an MMO. [*]Will you ever add a unique region to pro, filled with its own unique pokemon pro only no where else not even official games? [LilithBlack - Silver] We do not want to give too much away, but we do have something big planned, but we will not share completely because it'd take away from the surprise, if it is indeed coming or not. As for unique pokemon, we are always open to new forms. [*]Are you planning on adding another playthrough of Pokemon using Gen. 5/6 Pokemon and thus implementing the region of Unova/Kalos? [darkmok - Silver] Possibly. We will have to see how things go in the future with one region at a time. [*]is there any chance of any community/staff made unique pokemon making it into the game? (if it is good and balanced ofc) A completely new/unique region filled with such pokemons can also be made. (as lilithblack asked). [shagun5750 - Gold] We will not be making custom pokemon. For example, we will not be making a new pokemon. New custom regions are a possibility for new forms, we are open to ideas like that. However, there is a reason why we always say "No Estimated Time". It's to avoid disappointment when things don't go as planned. [*]When are Megas and Z-Moves gonna be implemented? Btw, i also wanna ask new region when :o [Diljitsandhu - Silver] Sadly, there's no estimated time for this. There is a reason why we always say "No Estimated Time". It's to avoid disappointment when things don't go as planned. [*]In the near future can we expect unique side quests and new areas with heavy requirements, but that are also very rewarding? [RavenReign - Silver] You can definitely expect new and revamped side quests in the coming months! [*]Kyogre mount was obtainable in the PVE section, and kyogre mount actually has a huge impact because it even outspeed regular mounts by another 50%, shouldn't you guys make something that is equivalent to kyogre in the PVE section or at least have kyogre available for PVE again? We'd like to provide incentive for players to participate in PvP, so not everything available for PvP coins can also be available for PvE. Currently, the Kyogre mount is what is unique to PvP - this may change in the future, but is not currently planned. [*]what are to future plans for the game for example what new regions are in the pipelines ? [Mummie - Gold] We do not want to give too much away, but we do have something big planned and being worked on, but we will not share completely because it'd take away from the surprise. We are also working on smaller quests to fill in the space while we work on the bigger project. [*]I know you want to rewamp all Boss and i want to know if the Egg section in our inventory is maybe for future reward ? [Zeskyr - Silver] All bosses are being reworked right this moment! In fact, if you would like to help test these reworked bosses, join the Bug Testing Discord at https://discordapp.com/invite/UTYcPzX ! [*]Are all regions expected or thought to be announced in the future? Will we catch up to the real games generation and will we get more side areas and extras in the game such as the Sevii Islands? [bhimoso - Gold] We cannot give a definite answer as to if we will be adding all regions. We'd like to take new regions one at a time and see how each future release is embraced by the community, but we can confirm that plenty of side areas and extras are in the works. [*]Is Darkrai going to return in an future event? [Demonbone - Silver] Because of time restraints and also technical difficulties we couldn't finish the Halloween Quest on time. We were in the middle of migrating to a new scripting languange. This new language is way better and the Devs are constantly improving it and adding more and more tools for Content Scripters to work with. As it stands, Darkrai is expected to come out for the 2019 Halloween, unless decided anytime before Halloween. [*]Are you planning to ship Meltan / Melmetal together with the gen 7 pokemon or are there no plans for these two pokemon at all? [C0libry - Silver] We currently have no plans at the moment. We are working on other projects. [*]The new Battle UI suggests you will implement the Mega-Evolutions in the near future. Will there be any restrictions for the mega-stones? [C0libry - Silver] The ones prohibited in Smogon OU may initially be banned. If any more are problematic, we'll see what is best for PRO's PvP Meta. [*]Can you release "Darkrai" anytime soon, cuz as it didn't showed up in halloween event this year. [Grimexon - Silver] Because of time restraints and also technical difficulties we couldn't finish the Halloween Quest on time. We were in the middle of migrating to a new scripting languange. This new language is way better and the Devs are constantly improving it and adding more and more tools for Content Scripters to work with. As it stands, Darkrai is expected to come out for the 2019 Halloween. ARTIST Hello guys :3, Are you going to add more starters clothes soon? [Epsy - Silver] All cosmetics that are suggested by the players will be carefully considered and enlisted. However, future projects are the general main focus for the team which means there is no telling when new items will be added. [*]Are you planning to implement move animations? [Whatdesu - Silver] There are plans to implement them, however, animating takes up a fair amount of time and there are a lot of moves to grant animations for. So there is no estimated time on when these will be implemented. [*]Is there any plans on introducing more cosmetic wings (eg. Salamance wings, Mega Absol wings, Noivern wings, Pidegoet wings, Lunala wings), and or, other cosmetics (eg. tails, hats) either available in the coin shop, by bossing, or BCC, in the future? [Absoluteezero - Silver] All cosmetics that are suggested by the players will be carefully considered and enlisted. However, future projects are the general main focus for the team which means there is no telling when new items will be added. SPAWN EDITOR What are the exact percentages for pokemons tier 1 - 10? In a specific map are all areas equal percentages for encountering pokemons or are there different area on the map that some specific pokemons have higher encounter percentage (I notice this in forrest pit, seems like on the mountains tepig has a much higher encounter percentage)? What is the algorithm used for fishing pokemons, because fishing can encounter surf pokemon, just wondering how is the fishing numbers added to the normal encounter rate? [damarkojones - Silver] According to our Spawn Editors, the exact percentages for Tier1 till Tier9.5/10 will never be public available as they virtually serve no purpose and the Tier system is easier to understand. You could imagine it like a huge amount of decimal numbers that make no sense and don't add up. The tiers are not as easy to explain as they are not really simply "Tier1 = 20%, "Tier2 = 15%". The Tiers have "hidden under-tiers" as well but those are not significant enough to be displayed publicly, so to say Tier1 has 5 different values I am using, Tier2 till Tier8 have each 2 different values and Tier9 again has 4 different values. Forest Pit is one of the few special maps that have area based spawns, meaning that only a small portion of the map is able to yield a certain Pokemon. This map has 2 areas, the rocky and the grassy area. The fire-type starter only spawns in the rocky area while the grass-type starter only spawns in the grassy area. As for your last question, waterspawns are categorized into 3 different ways to spawn. The first one being only-surf, the second being only-fishing and the third being surf/fishing. COMMUNITY COORDINATOR Previously you posted a open application for Discord Moderation. I want to know, when are you going to choose a new Discord Moderator. [LaMan - Silver] A response will be posted on your application once a decision has been made. There is no estimated time as to when a decision will be made, but rest assured we will surely get back to you! Please refrain from asking about your application as well. [*]The hypnosis movement should not sleep the DARK type pokemon. The Unawere ability is no longer useful when the opponent pays you a critic. [Cuarteloff - Silver] Hypnosis was coded in the Official Games to work on Dark Type Pokemon, therefore we don't really want to change this feature as we primarily take after the official games. We don't wanna introduce new battle mechanics that aren't in the Official Games. As for Unaware, the battle system is still in the works and will be updated over time. Do note that the game is in BETA and that we do have a PvP Update planned for the future, which will address the PvP Bugs found in the current system. [*]Are you planning to translate the website /game to other languages and if yes, is there any way to help? [VeryBadGoy - Gold] As stated in our Suggestions Sub-forum, PRO's main storyline will be kept English as the widely accepted official language in the game. Only minor things (menus, options, etc) will be translated. However, there is no estimated time frame for this, and it's considered very low-priority. We have also decided to have translations to certain languages for our new website and we have already selected players from the community to help us with these translations.

Smooge Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 IGN: Smooge Server: Silver Question: With the new battle system thats coming, and assuming everything works and is intended to now include everything, how would Mega Stones be distributed? And would it be something released with the system, or would it take much more time to fully implement? I just hope there is no ridiculous requirement to get them, as that would put anyone without those requirements at an enormous disadvantage.
